Atheism is a religion too, no?Third option: There are no gods. This is the most parsimonious explanation given all the different beliefs about gods, people's inability to show any sort of actual evidence for such beings and what we actually observe about how reality works and what is happening in the world.
Nothing is untestable about God. Science cannot do so because it set up it's own little off center rules and method that religiously avoid Him!Translation:
'Science treats untestable beliefs with respect .. by handling them with indifference .. so I'll fill in that void by demonising it'.
Translation:
'I use only my personal perceptions of offensiveness, to make the distinction between 'lies' and 'honesty' .. even when offensiveness is not evident'.
Translation:
'I need others to have personal opinions in order to categorize them as as 'haters' and 'dishonest' .. even when opinions aren't evident.'

Looking at the sciences that deal in where life and the universe came from, I would have to say NO. Looking at actual science in general, and what it gave mankind, there is a lot of good that we have gotten from science. Weighing the bad though, on a scale along with the good, I am leaning toward thinking that since the bad outweighs the good, and endangers humanity, the answer also might be no!
Have a weigh in.....

Truth be told believers are in training as royalty to rule the planet and more forever. The illegal aliens who reject Jesus will be extradited to hell in a handbasket.
Let's keep it that way world! (Many of us are not American).... Let's keep it that way America!
I can go all my life without ever using something origin sciences gave us. As for actual science, not sure you realize this world would cease to exist if not for His people. We are the only reason it is allowed to continue. His people have permission to use what they need in the world. That does not mean it is all great and good. It just means that is how it is.I challenge you to go a day without using anything that science developed.
?? Border? The coming forever kingdom is all the world. Only believers will be allowed on the planet.I didn't even see this before making my previous posting in this thread:
Please keep your Royalist nonsense and Dominionism north of the the border.
Americans tend to think the world revolves around them. My opinion is that the more secular your nation becomes, the closer it moves to it's doomsday.We don't need it down here in the secular American republic. Our religious and non-religious people have just fine without either.
False. Christians are Royalty! Always were.No state religion for 230 years and no royalty for 243 years.
OK, so another atheist weighs in that science is good.Let's keep it that way America!
(On topic: Science is good!)
The medium of the net has no connection to origin science. It is actual science. The OP talked about weighing the good with the bad.The fact you wouldn't be able to insult it through this medium without it, it's a rather odd argument.
weighing the good with the bad
Yes quite similar. I think the greatest knowledge on earth and most important is the knowledge of God, so we can be saved. Science does not have that at all in all it's storehouses. Not a drop. So it seems there is not a whole lot of knowledge of good there! No wonder the world is in a mess with science front and center.Sounds like the tree of the knowledge of good and evil...

It's not Science front and center ... it's people front and center.Yes quite similar. I think the greatest knowledge on earth and most important is the knowledge of God, so we can be saved.

Science acts as a convincing character witness against the Bible.It's not Science front and center ...
Your view is clouded ... and narrow. Mankind doesn't need Science to deny God. Recall that that started at the beginning of the world.Science acts as a convincing character witness against the Bible.
While lying about being neutral, when called upon to do so, it will use its own terminology to override the Bible's terminology to convince the judicial system to rule against God and His children.
The Scope's Monkey Trial, Roe v Wade, and the persecution of Judge Moore all couldn't have occurred without science coming to the aid of the Devil.
I disagree.Your view is clouded.
But when mankind is ready to deny God, science is there to assist him in his defense of his decision.A_Thinker said:Mankind doesn't need Science to deny God.
Eve appealed to her empirical senses to override her obedience to God's command.A_Thinker said:Recall that that started at the beginning of the world.
A_Thinker said:I don't think that you'll find even one instance of the resistance to God which is portrayed in the Bible ... in any way aided and abetted by Science ...
That's not Science ... that's self-gratification.Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
